Rick Riordan:
Have you been influenced or inspired by any traits of the castings of various characters (PJO movies and Disney TV series) when writing the new PJO novels? Or are you still able to separate the characters you created from the ones brought to life on screen?
Rick Riordan
All the time! I definitely see and hear Walker, Aryan and Leah in my head now as I write the new books because they embody the characters' personalities so well. I actually saw a nice piece of fan art the other day of 'Percabeth' with Annabeth as white and blonde and for a second I thought, 'Wait, who is that?' because Leah is so incredible at channeling Annabeth's energy. Multiple artistic interpretations are valid, but it is a testament to the actors that they have inhabited their parts so well.
